What is Electrical Fire Safety Week?
Organised by the charity Electrical Safety First, and working closely with the Government’s Fire Kills campaign and Fire & Rescue Services across the UK, the annual week promotes electrical fire safety in the home.
Over half of all accidental house fires are caused by electricity and the majority of these are caused by electrical products.
Says Tania Emery, Building Safety Director, says: “Accidental electrical fires can have a devastating on the life of you and your family. We’re supporting Electrical Fire Safety Week to remind our customers about how important it is to help us help you by making sure you give our electrical safety contractors access to your home when your appointment is due.”
You can find out more about electrical safety in your home on our help page.
What A2Dominion do to help keep you safe
We’re responsible for making sure your home is safe and fit to live in.
We partner with two contractors, PFL Electrical and The Wiggett Group, who carry out the electrical safety checks in your home at least every five years, on our behalf. This is part of our ongoing commitment to keep you safe.
Did you know?
There are things that you can do that can help us:
Report electrical faults as soon as you spot a problem
Allow access for repairs and safety inspections
Make sure your own appliances are safe, for example, kettles and hairdryers
Don’t overload power circuits with multiple extension cables
Carry out a visual safety check (but don't try to do electrical repairs yourself).
If you have any questions about our electrical testing programme, please get in touch.
